A volcano is a mountain from where the molten rocks or magma erupt through the surface. Once the magma erupts through the earths surface it is called Lava.
We have been making volcanoes in the sandpit, it is a favourite thing to do. Today teacher Liz, Daniel, Declan and Livia experiment with making one each inside.

The look of amazement and excitement as their volcanoes erupted was priceless! Our dinosaurs of course came in to play as they dived into the hot hot lava!!
